MEP Innovation Conference Will Go On As Planned

January 27-30, 2025 | Los Angeles, CA

As the wildfires in Los Angeles remain top of mind for all of us, our thoughts are with those affected by this challenging situation. We want to assure you that we are continuously monitoring the evolving circumstances and prioritizing the safety of all involved.

The safety of our attendees is always our foremost concern, and NECA, MCAA, and SMACNA are committed to working together to ensure a safe environment for everyone. 

At this time, the MEP Innovation Conference is still moving forward as planned January 27-30, at the Intercontinental Hotel in downtown Los Angeles. This decision is based on the fact that infrastructure and locations that the meeting is taking place are currently unaffected and not within an area likely to be.   

LAX airport is operating normally, and the areas where our meetings are scheduled remain unaffected. We are monitoring air quality and the situation closely, including the forecasted winds this week, and will act swiftly if conditions require us to make any changes to the event.   

We are proud to share that the MCAA Charitable Fund, NECA Disaster Relief Fund, SMACNA and the New Horizons Foundation, have joined forces to donate up to $60,000 for member relief efforts in areas impacted by the fires. You can make a difference too. A portion of the proceeds from this event will go directly toward relief efforts, and we encourage you to consider making an additional donation if you want to help as well through the charity of your affiliated association in the links attached. Our local partners look forward to seeing everyone in Los Angeles, where we can support the community. 

Your safety is our top priority, and we will keep you updated on any changes to the event. Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns.   

Thank you for your understanding and support as we navigate this together.
